Tempers flair in Lamar troopers encircle school
LAMAR, S.C. (UPI) - State troopers, backed by national guardsmen, threw a protective ring Wednesday around a school where whites have violently protested classroom desegregation.
The Lamar School was reopened Tuesday for the first time since a mob overturned two school buses carrying Negro children last week. Troopers turned back two small groups of whites Tuesday and one man was arrested for carrying a nightstick.
Elsewhere, police used tear gas for the second straight day Tuesday to disperse Negro youths in Louisiana. The incident occurred at Bayou Goula, where blacks are protesting the reassignment of two Negro principals in a desegregation program. Bayou Goula is about four miles
Whether demonstration against court-ordered desegregation of the Lamar schools will continue nonviolent remained the big question.
from Plaquemine, where police fired tear gas at rock and bottle throwing blacks Monday.
J. P. Strom, director of the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED), called the Tuesday incidents a "form of protest" and said they were relatively minor.

"Things do get back to normal." Strom said. "I don't think it will be too long before we'll have peace and tranquility in Darlington County."
Some residents doubted it would be so easy.
"Tempers are higher now than they've ever been before," said a girl behind the checkout counter at the cotton and tobacco town's only supermarket.

Kansas Senate committee suggests gas tax passage
of taxes, even though the shrinkage allowance were reduced, Kramer said.
He said that leakage, spillage and shrinkage of gasoline are uncontrollable factors that must be allowed for in taxing fuel distributors.
TOPEKA (UPI) - Despite pleas by gasoline distributors and the president of the Kansas County Commissioners Association a Kansas Senate committee today recommended for passage a measure providing a new distribution formula for state motor fuel tax revenue.
The measure, already passed by the House, would raise an additional $2 for counties by cutting in half the present 3 per cent shrinkage allowance granted to motor fuel distributors for loss of fuel through evaporation spillage and leakage.
Urban counties would get a bigger slice of the revenue and counties would get at least $20,000 a year, under the bill's provisions.
Almost half 43 per cent the annual revenue returned to local governments would go to cities on the basis of population, and the remainder to the counties on a proportional formula based on dollar amount of motor vehicle registrations and average daily miles driven in each county.
Amos Kramer, representing the Kansas Petroleum Industry, told the committee the bill's proposed reduction of the 3 per cent shrinkage allowance "could deal the death blow to man independent businessmen throughout the state of Kansas."
Jerry Maloney, representing Universal Service Stations in Wichita, told the committee that if Kansas reduces its shrinkage allowance to $1\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, it will be the lowest such allowance of the states surrounding Kansas. Urban Klenke, president of the Kansas County Commissioners Association, said that the allocation of federal funds to many counties would be affected by the bill's distribution formula.
Motor fuel distributors would still have to pay the same book-keeping costs for keeping track
Article stresses rearing methods
The article "Indian and White Americans" co-authored by Rosalie Wax, associate professor of anthropology, and Robert K. Thomas was chosen for inclusion in the spring issue of Forum Magazine published by the J. C. Penney Company.
The spring issue of the publication, designed especially for educators, was devoted to sensitivity in interpersonal relationships.
The article discussed the different rearing techniques used by white and Indian families, Mrs. Wax said. The white man tends to respond to a new situation with a great deal of activity and experimentation, she said.
The Indian, she said, does not respond to a new situation until he is sure what behavior is proper and safe in that situation.
